    ... the police to the station and tried to talk to you when you were being detained."
    
    Tami tried to remember. That whole episode was hazy in her mind.
    
    "You should also know that after the ushers threw you out, Father Coubert stopped the mass to have everyone say a prayer for you before he continued."
    
    Well, that was nice of him, Tami conceded. At least he didn't conduct some kind of public excommunication.
    
    "And," the young priest continued, rolling the Amaretto around in his glass, "I found out that nudism was your religion. Is this true?"
    
    Tami felt a creeping chill. Her mind raced. Was this man Noyes's spy? She never saw this guy before. He must be new at the church. Or was he lying about being a priest at St. Mary's? No, he wouldn't lie about that . . .
    
    She couldn't take the chance. "Yes, it is my religion," she said, trying to sound resolute.
    
    "I bet," Father George said, speaking slowly, "that you weren't trying to make some kind of scene. I bet you just wanted to attend mass."
    
    Tami looked at him. She decided to nod.
    
    "I had a long talk with Dean Jorgon on the phone after he got done talking to the desk sergeant. Your dedication to your religion is really quite remarkable. How old are you?"
    
    "Eighteen."
    
    "A freshman, right?"
    
    "Yes."
    
    "I don't want to sound insulting, but I think a young person like you could use some guidance. Did you really think they would let you into church naked? . . . I don't mean to question your religion. You probably ...
    ... know, nudism was recognized as a real religion a couple of years ago by the state court. . . But I think you are putting yourself under some unnecessary stress and that is why you freaked out. Tell me, do you go to church up at college?"
    
    At college, going to church had been the furthest thing from her mind. Tami answered simply, "No."
    
    "My advice is, find a church. Or find people who believe like you. The people who won that court case might be a good source of support. I did some digging and got the address of a contact person." He got out a folded piece of paper and gave it to the naked girl. Tami opened it up and saw that it was on St. Mary's stationery. In pencil there was a name and an address from one of the ritzy resort towns down by the ocean.
    
    She didn't know what else to do. She said, "Thanks," and put the paper on the end table next to her. Where does a naked girl put a piece of paper? She had no clothes with pockets. She suppressed a smile as she thought, Well I could stuff it up my butt. But he probably wouldn't like that.
    
    Or maybe he would. Was this guy gay? She looked at his face again. She had heard that nowadays a lot of priests were gay. His face seemed pretty rather than handsome. A gay guy would probably find him attractive. . . That would explain why he hasn't looked down at my body yet. . .
    
    Tami shook her head. Why am I getting these weird thoughts? She focused as Father George spoke again. "They might not be much help when you're way up at ...
